Meet Andrew

Mr Andrew Mahon MB BCh MSc FRCSI FRCS(Tr & Orth)

Mr Andrew Mahon is a specialist Hand and Wrist Surgeon with over 10 years experience as a specialist in this field.

He completed his Specialist Training in the Northern Region Specialist Training Programme based in Newcastle, before undertaking a highly sought after Advanced Training Post in Hand Surgery in Birmingham in 2005 to 2006.

His NHS practice has been based at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire since September 2014. Since this time he and his colleagues have worked hard to make Coventry a major centre for hand surgery in the UK, taking tertiary referrals from other centres. Prior to this he was a consultant in Worcestershire.

His practice includes all aspects of hand and wrist surgery, ranging from relatively simple, common conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to complex major injuries and the late consequences of such injuries. He was the first person in Worcestershire to treat Dupuytren’s contracture with collagenase injections.

Although he treats the vast majority of hand conditions he has a particular interest in wrist problems and arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery of the wrist. He has visited centres in France and Germany to expand his knowledge and skills in arthroscopic wrist surgery.

Mr Mahon believes that treatment of a condition should be tailored to the individual with the problem and that many hand and wrist conditions can be treated without surgery.

Mr Mahon is a keen educator and trainer. He regularly teaches on surgical skills courses aimed at surgical trainees and consultants. He regularly delivers lectures to specialist trainees, medical students and has delivered several lectures at Warwick University. He is actively involved in major research projects.

When not at work Mr Mahon is a keen cyclist and has competed in the British 4X Series. He spends much of his time supporting his children in competitive sports including national standard swimming, mountain biking and triathlon and regional standard athletics.

Thanks to you personally for your patience and skill in dealing with what may have seemed a trivial affliction.

All the little day to day things that I was finding so difficult to do are now back to normal. I can't believe that such a small procedure has cured my problem. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me.

Patient D

You performed surgery on my right hand to correct contracture which others considered would necessitate amputation. Words are hardly adequate but I would like you to know of my admiration and heartfelt gratitude for what you did for me.

Patient C

Thank you so much for my care and your skill and expertise. You each gave a necessary depth of confidence in your style and team-work. I wish you well for the future. May you continue for many years caring and repairing damaged hands.

It is a year since my first trapeziectomy and seven months since my second. I am taking no analgesia and am back to doing everything I wanted to do, particularly playing my musical instruments. So huge thanks to you for your skill, patience and kindness during my treatment.
